So that's a 3x scaling of the actual Lisa screen, was playing with those numbers over the weekend. Was looking into the same over the weekend. Can't imagine it won't fit. Cable length usually makes positioning of the controller boards very flexible. That particular controller avoids the VGA...

So how many by how many pixels does this thing put on a 1080p screen?

Sounds like a plan! Does the Lisa board really output 1920x1080? In that case I'd really go for the Bare Metal Prototype Lisa III as it's better than TPD resolution and much faster than the real deal in acceleration mode. Zero point in making it look like original Lisa or Lisa II, IMO. Can...

OOPSIE! I thought it was outputting some custom resolution that fit 1080p, something on the order of 640x400 on the 'Books which is closer to 16:9. What resolution does it output? As far as the FDD goes, it looks like you might be able to install it behind a flip-down cover panel kinda like the...

ProtoLisaIII-FPGA: Second rev-cool foot - interesting sheet metal Second rev ProtoFoot/sheet metal Parts printed face down - flanges turned inward. - horizontal parts would be aluminum or galvanized steel from Lowes/Depot. - everything but the feets spray painted with textured silver and...

Just gave up on buzzing connections on my much corroded MagicBus card. Can't locate the good one. So will be setting up the copy stand, taking pics of MagicBus and working from there in Illustrator just as I'm doing with FPD. I can then verify the layout by buzzing my Radius16 Accelerator. Do...

Nope, more like these from Radio Shack used as inspiration for a Lisa-like Lisa III makeover: Do either basic bezel form factor with a single, vertical Twiggy drive slot in place of the 8" FDD slot with the remainder of the bezel a 1080p TPD. Yout 9.& inch LCD would align nicely with the...

Haven't looked, reverse engineering the card and equating PDS/MagicBus signals.

Bare Metal Lisa III Prototype: Print just the metal framework & internal boxen. Feet would be hardwood as in the Lisa Prototype pics showing bare metal side panel. FDD goes vertical next to 1080p panel and innards hidden in the box. Make grooves on side panel vertical? edit: FDD or Optical...

With its acceleration mode and 1080p resolution, his board is obviously a Lisa III. So design a new case showing off the nice wide 1080p panel as an advanced TPD with the Lisa team sticking it to his banished Steveness, robbing the Macintosh of its DTP glory! :devilish:

Does the case really NEED to look like the original Lisa? Use Lisa as inspiration for some wide screen creativity. There are lot of other case designs from the era that could be tweaked to look more Lisa-like.Dividing the front bezel into panel surround and internal peripheral bezel could solve...

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . .

That's exactly what I was suggesting to get the largest possible parts printed. Front bezel and top are the major problems. I was looking at this printing method as a huge waste of filament with a full case print gone bad: This one is great if you can get the size you need: Filament for...

if printer cubic is a 350x350x400 it looks like I could print my bezel at full size? "The hypotenuse is the side opposite the 90° angle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, √(350²+400²) ≈ 531.4 mm." Yep! The bezel is a bit over 450mm wide. NoPro! "If the right triangle’s legs are both 350 mm (an...
